Pont au Change

The Pont au Change is a bridge over the Seine River in Paris, France. The bridge connects the Ile de la Cite from the Palais de Justice and Conciergerie to the Right Bank at the Grand Chatelet. Several bridges were built on that site, and it owes its name to the goldsmiths and money changers whose stalls lined the bridge. From 1858 to 1860, Napoleon III had the newest bridge built on the site of the original Pont au Change.
